Now This Poor Sod Laughs Has Been In The Water For Hours And Been Witch-Hunted And Everything. Suddenly They're Kind Of At Home In Spirit Seeing Their Loved One Sitting There Waiting For Them To Come Home. And You Know Watching The Clock And Obviously Very Worried About Where They Are Maybe Making Phone Calls And Things. But There's No Way That You Can Actually Communicate Because They Can't See You They Can't You. And I Find This Really Horrific Laughs These Are All Like My Own Personal Worst Nightmares I Guess Put Into Song. And When We Started Putting The Track Together I Had The Idea For These Backing Vocals You Know Sings "you Can't Hear Me". And I Thought That Maybe To Disguise Them So That You Know You Couldn't Actually Hear What The Backing Vocals Were Saying. Richard Skinner 'Classic Albums Interview Hounds Of Love.
